Biography
Born to aging parents whose attempt to revitalize their failing marriage with another child ended in divorce shortly thereafter, Rupert Ferris made no significant impact on the history books in any way for nearly half a centery. Ferris only surfaced as the newly-minted owner of a middling iron factory called the Bow Rail Works, which he promptly redubbed Ferris Ironworks. Police records indicated that several employees of his factory died of exhaustion.

As the 1860s continued, the average age of Ferris' employees got younger, a reliable remedy for both exhaustion and consumption. Starrick purchased the Ironworks in 1862, enfolding it into his vast empire, and Ferris became a wealthy man. He was on the books of both a wealthy charitable society both in Crodyon and the local brothel, apparently his other favorite cause. In addition, he joined the Templar Order under fellow businessman Crawford Starrick. In 1868, he was tracked down to his factory by Jacob Frye, who killed him with his hidden blades as he was unsuspecting.
